Biography
Myung-woo was a member of the Korean Independence Army resistance, and Myung-woo and Se-gwang were assigned to be Captain Yem Sek-jin's subordinates. In 1933, Kim Koo tasked the two with killing Yem if they saw him talking with Kempeitai agent Sasaki, as Kim suspected Yem of being a traitor. The two men killed Sasaki as he walked with Yem in Shanghai, but Yem succeeded in stabbing Myung-woo and shooting him through the cheek, while he killed Se-gwang. Myung-woo surprisingly survived his wounds, although he was disfigured and rendered mute. In 1949, he would join Ahn Okyun in killing his former commander.
